摘要：AbstractFor better performance analysis and design improvement of industrial alarm systems, a variety of advanced alarm management tools have been developed recently. These tools are quite comprehensive and handy in various applications, such as the assessment of alarm systems, detection of nuisance alarms, alarm flood analysis, and recommendation of better configurations. To demonstrate the effectiveness of these tools, this paper presents some industrial case studies based on the alarm data collected from an oil sand extraction plant operated by Suncor Energy in northern Alberta, Canada. Application results show the practicality and utility of the advanced alarm management tools for alarm rationalization and routine alarm management.
